THE BEACH BOYS - Sloop John B | FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION

[@tedcole9936]

Yeah, Shawn, your favorite spot was a capella, all the instruments dropped and you just heard those gorgeous harmonies per Brian’s arrangement.

[@pamegan8735]

One of my favorite songs!!

[@user-ph9wt3ue7c]

Great Carol Kaye bass line

[@KJ-4321]

Awesome! Thanks Shawn! The Beach Boys are always wonderful to listen to! Soooo much TALENT! 🤗💕 “Heroes & villains” …”I can hear music” .. “In my room” .. “Help me Rhonda” for a few out of many suggestions! 😀

[@sourisvoleur4854]

My favorite BB song. The harmonies are just fantastic, and I love the folky story underlaying it.

[@joelliebler5690]

Fun song in that Caribbean style for a serious situation!

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

The Beach Boys always bring me back to early high school days and summer vacation. We did all wish we could be California girls, lol. Great pick to listen to multiple times. Blessings all.

[@brandonjones1349]

Boom Shawn 💥. When i tell people this is my top BBoys song, they're like, ...huh? If u get it, u get it. Lol ☘️🚬💀⚓️

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

I smiled all the way through this tune. 😀 This is a documented in an Alan Lomax book of folk songs I have somewhere.

[@thebiscuitscraps]

I love, love this one. 😊

[@richardmodglin3900]

Played this when driving on camping trips back in the 70,s 80,s. Good times!

[@CharCanuck14]

Did the same in the 60's :-)

[@plantfeeder6677]

One of my favorites by them. Another great song of the seas.

[@sorrystaunton]

Any hit that uses a tuba is great in my opinion!!!

[@waltw4537]

Thank you! There's so much going on in this song.There's acapella versions and just the backing track versions out there. Well worth checking out. Thanks!

[@bpfromowc]

Great reaction Shawn. It's one of my favourite Beach Boys songs. 🖖 Thanks

[@thekookooman1991]

Another thing that's happening in your favorite part is that the music drops out and the voices are singing a capella---always a special treat to hear the Beach Boys' harmonizing a capella! A couple of their other songs feature this gimmick (Barbara Ann, I Get Around, etc)

[@will-x9c]

A Bahamian ( I think) folk song. Yeah, those harmonies. WOW

[@monaferrell9403]

Brian Wilson was a genius.

[@Providence..]

*is and forever will be a genius

[@Wordsmyth8]

So many great Beach Boys songs. Don’t Worry Baby is my favorite. Also Girl Don’t Tell Me and Let Him Run Wild - both album cuts from their classic LP, Summer Days and Summer Nights.

[@janescribner8258]

omg Let Him Run Wild. Thanks; hadn't thought of that one in years and years. I'm going to listen to it now!!!

[@Wordsmyth8]

@@janescribner8258 It’s a good one!

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

One of those songs you just have to sing along with

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Their older songs…” Little Surfer Girl has a lot of Acapella, my favorite song by them. 👍👏👏👏🥰♥️

[@hollycipriani6895]

One of my favorite Beach Boys songs! Thank you! ❤

[@827dusty]

Such a cool song. One of their best.

[@famat161]

Oh Goodie!

[@TeresaMosby-sm4js]

Video before MTV! Love these guys and this awesome song! I still sing the I wanna go home part at times in my life when I want to go home.

[@bidwell13]

We sang this song in elementary school back in the 80s. We loved it cause the beat.

[@VickiCampbell-1216]

My dad's favorite band was "The Beach Boys". Maybe b/c he grew up near the beach up here in Ohio. I LOVE The Beach Boys so I'm going to go check out your other BB reactions. Thanks, Shawn!! 💙😁

[@jowsmith1904]

great tune

[@dow311]

I forgot how many great songs The Beach Boys sang.

[@johnshannon9656]

Great.

[@jodyjackson5475]

Talent galore❤️‍🔥

[@dougca7086]

React to 96 Tears by? And mysterians also keep on dancing by the Gentry's

[@jodyjackson5475]

Great tune! Garland Jeffrey’s does it well too 😊

[@Macdelaven]

One of my favorite songs. I had not seen the video before. How fun and thanks for introducing it to me.

[@M.E.M.O.10-50]

Beach Boys were genius.

[@intothesunset3]

♥♥♥

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This has remained a nautical/folk staple for decades. SAIL ON, SAILOR is another nautical hit they had. BTW, it's pronounced NasSAW, Bahamas, not NasSOW. Try Tommy James' DRAGGIN' THE LINE (minus any of The Shondells), Tommy did all the vocals and instruments - the song was relative to us working as crew on a tug boat, trawler, etc.

[@armandogarza6181]

The video took away from the song here IMO, but that's ok, they might of had fun doing that. The arrangements and the harmonies were top notch...well, it was Brian, mainly. Their discography is impressive.

[@leticiaserna2924]

FUN FUN FUN is a good one by the Beach Boys

[@librarylady13]

😍😍😍

[@TangoEliott]

Sail on Sail on Sailor is my favorite

[@bobmorgan1575]

Take a listen to "Heroes and Villains" if you haven't already.

[@AndyClayton-f5x]

Not a big Beach Boys fan, but this one with God only knows, are great 60s pop. I see from the video that they have been influenced by the Beatles. and the Monkees, to do some fooling around. Not seen that video before. If you want another hit with a maritime theme, try Home loving man by Andy Williams. It's about 5 years after this one, in the early 70s.

[@otter3095]

❤🔥👍🏻

[@beckycourtemanche1088]

So sad about Brian Wilson. He is a genius! Nothing like the harmonies!

[@stanleycalliou]

david wilcox riverboat fantasy

[@10000Times]

War, huh, yeah

[@markbrooks8144]

This one's better without the daft video to be honest. Song 10 out of 10. Video.... less.

[@KJ-4321]

I agree!

[@BernardHodgson]

This is the worst trip I've ever been on

[@827dusty]

This video doesn't fit with the seriousness of the song. I don't think was the beach Boys doing, but a fan or something. There isn't anything funny about this song, so that's why this video of them doesn't fit with this particular song.

[@KJ-4321]

Yes… The video takes away from the song. It needs to be listened to with no distractions!

[@saturnnet1627]

Reactors need to learn to focus on the music and not to get caught up in the distractions of the videos.

[@hmichaelr1]

A brilliant composition illustrated with a stupid music video.

[@intothesunset3]

I agree.

[@KJ-4321]

Me 2

[@gregcarlson6342]

What a useless video. Has nothing to do with song ! No wonder I never watched Much Music! 🤣
